help me.. I'm a binge eater.

[hulse]

I used to be a binge eater. (And this past Easter it hit me again, damn those Cadbury's eggs) It tore me up inside, so I went to a psychiatrist for a month or two and ,now save for a natural response to sweets during the holidays, Im cured. It was embarrassing (at least for me) to talk about the disorder, but it helped in the end.
Also, I found it helpful to workout on Saturday and Sunday so I can't allow myself to eat too much or I feel like shit.

But why are you eating alot?? Are you eating a lot cuz you are "out" & with friends, so don't realize how much you are eating?? Or do you feel that you've been good all week & deserve a treat??

I've found that living a healthy lifestyle is a lifestyle -- it's all the time & not just a temporary thing so I can fit into my prom dress, etc..... Yes, there will be slip ups or times when you don't eat healthy, sure.

I've found that eating right is a mental thing most of all. Like what type of eater am I??? I like to eat -- a lot & often. By eating healthy foods, I can do that with minimal impact & lower calories. Plus I've evolved to this lifestyle over a number of years. I'm still evolving.

If going out to eat @ restaurants are a trigger for you -- then you may need to change your form of socializing for awhile, till you can make the right choices regardless of where you are.

cuz i'm "out" & with friends

Well, until you can learn to control yourself, you may have to isolate yourself from the environment for a while.....or suggest to your friends to do something else so you won't be tempted....

How old are they?? Guys, I assume........

What's deceiving about "skinny" people is that they are NOT necessarily healthy. Just because you are skinny -- it doesn't mean your bf% is at a healthy level. For a skinny guy, a bf% of 18% (Just look at Morgan Spurlock form the movie "Supersize Me" as an example) can be just as unhealthy or equivalent to someone who's larger with a bf% of 30%. It's relative to a person's size. They could even have higher bf%'s......

It WILL catch up to them eventually. So, they may not care now -- but they will later.

In the meantime -- try & make some new friends who will support YOU & your healthy lifestyle or suggest other activities with the same friends that don't involve sitting on their ass eating & drinking. Now, these same friends may not understand you & resist your new lifestyle -- which is sad. But you know what you want & what you need to do. Surround yourself with positive support and the gains will come to you.

Exactly!!

Your body shape & bone structure is determined by genetics. You can't get around that. BUT -- you can be healthy, tight & firm -- and even if you are techically LARGER that those tiny peeps -- you'll be 10 times healthier and isn't that what's most important??
